18 years agoCountry Scene :
The waterfall plungs in mist.
Who can describe this desolate scene:
The long white river sliding through
The emerald shadows of anceint canopy
... a shepherds horn echoing in the valley
fishnets stretched to dry on sandy flats.
A bell is tolling fading,fading
just like love. Only poetry last
What colors are used in stanza two?
What is the meaning of the final two lines of the poem, including the significance of a tolling bell? How do these lines relate to the first six lines of the poem?
